Hailing from the Berlin club scene, JAHCOOZI is a bass heavy trio consisting of Londonborn Sri Lankan front woman Sasha Perera, and producers / multi-instrumentalists: Robot Koch, the hardcore Berliner, and Israeli born Oren Gerlitz. After meeting in Berlin in 2002, their story of coming up in the ranks reads like a musician's wet dream: Having built up a solid fan-base with their freaky underground shows, they released their debut single entitled “Fish” in 2003 (WMF Records) which did in fact earn them no less than a spotlight on the cult BBC show of the late John Peel. After being snapped up by Kitty-Yo, the Berlin based mother label of Peaches, 2005 finally saw the unleashing of their long-awaited full length debut record entitled “Pure Breed Mongrel” to critical acclaim.

Blitz 'n' Ass is a low-end grime-tech-dub-rave-tronic monster that effortlessly boils down these infinite shades of electronica into an irresistible blend of pop. The production is both R&B thick and technoid perfection, the songwriting well into its maturity and Sasha Perera's social commentary as personal and satirical as ever. Show less
